The active shutters may eliminate condensation by closing a bit when on the highway. I sure hope it is solved before then though. Also might be a front mount intercooler. If the intercooler wasn't the lowest part of the intake system maybe it wouldn't have condensation buildup.

Looks like they put a leveling kit on it already.

There is a picture out there about the enhancements to the tailgate step. They have redesigned it to also extend UP, so you can use it to hold cargo across the roof! Pretty cool!!!

They said it's the 2015 F150, not 2014.

Take a look at the floor shifter.....what's up with that? I am getting used to the looks of the truck...it's very "masculine" and beefy looking. The features this show truck incorporates are mind boggling......could redefine the truck market and make GM and Ram play catch up for years!

Fella's you better bring your refinance paperwork with you because that truck shown is loaded and be its a $70k+ msrp truck. The normal trim levels and after scaling back to production levels wont be anything like that truck. Unless you custom order and want to be in rare air!! I only expect to see a few of those trucks to hit the street. No doubt a space age looking truck.

Looks good.

My thoughts

-I doubt the headlights make it. They just changed them for 2013. I can't see them changing again 2 years later
-the step functionality on the tailgate should make it
-power steps have been on plats for years... they should make it
-wheel shutters and grill shutters... will be interesting to see if they make it or not. I'd say 50/50 at the moment
-I do REALLY like the design of the front. I could see that with the 2013 headlights tho
-I think you can expect some changes to the tail lights. they haven't changed since 2009 if I'm not mistaken
-I do find it funny that two of the mods you've seen here (light up sill plates at the doors and led bed lights) are featured in that video. Ford designers obviously keep in "tune" with what the public changes on their trucks

Just my .02. Be curious to see what makes the cut and doesn't.

It would look weird with the current 2013 headlights grafted on there. Brand new truck + brand new headlights. Ford added blacked out headlights for 2008, but why would they graft them onto the 09? They are going to redesign the whole truck, and I doubt we will see many 09-14 parts on there. The 3.5L and 5.0L will make it to this one, but that's probably where it ends. I'm cool with that, I'd like to see a thorough change in and out.
